FLYING FEMALES: The 23 women pictured above are members of the "99'ers," an all-feminine flying organization that visited Ann Arbor Airport yesterday morning for a quick breakfast. A few of the other halves, officially known as the "49 1/2ers," traipsed along. Most of the visitors came from Michigan communities, but one flew from New York City for the meeting. The airplane in the background is an Ann Arbor insurance man Clarence J. Aprill's Bonanza.

A Pre-Flight Check. The winner of last year's Powder Puff Derby and many other races, Mrs. Robert Steadman is as much at home in her twin-engine Beechcraft as anyplace else. However, her responsibilities as president of the "Ninety Nines," an organization of women aviators, prevents Bernice from flying as much as she would like.
